TRYING TIMES
I was trying to find a single ray of light
To lead me through
To guide me onward
To help my eyes regain their sight
I was trying to find a single fresh breath of air
To fill my lungs so I could scream and yell out your name
So you'd know where I am after you disappeared
I was trying to find a single reason why you left
But I could not as I thought and thought
There was nothing I said… There was nothing I did
Except give you everything
I always tried my best to give you everything I got
I was trying to find a single reason to go on
Be it only to be right
Or perhaps just to prove you wrong
Maybe if you could see me happy again
It would show you that I'm still strong
I was trying to find a single reason not to cry
For it seems like the right thing to do
When you feel so broken and empty inside
For these trying times
Seem to bring out the monster that hides
Beneath the false face I wear
The one that covers my sadness and my despair
All my pain and hurt
When the flame of light no longer glows bright
Or whenever I do finally flint a fire
I always find myself getting burnt
